    Hayato's Happiness
[01:34] ---
    Alright, I'm heading out!
[01:37] ---
    I made you guys stew for dinner,
    just remember to heat it up first, okay?
[01:40] ---
    And there's salad in the fridge, too,
    so don't forget to eat it.
[01:43] ---
    Jeez, we got it, already!
[01:45] ---
    How many times do we have to say it?!
[01:47] ---
    But...
[01:48] ---
    We'll be fine, Hayato.
[01:50] ---
    We can take care of ourselves, don't worry.
[01:53] ---
    Don't worry about us,
    and just make sure to have some fun.
[01:56] ---
    You've been looking forward
    to your reunion, right?
[01:58] ---
    Off you go~!
[02:01] ---
    Today I'm going to
    my high school reunion.
[02:04] ---
    I just started working a couple years ago
[02:06] ---
    and there are a lot of classmates
    I haven’t seen since graduation.
[02:10] ---
    I wonder how everyone's been doing?
[02:14] ---
    I'm busy everyday with work
    and taking care of my brothers
[02:22] ---
    so I'm psyched to get to relive
    my high school days for a bit today!
[02:29] ---
    [Hoshizaki Municipal Shoyo High School
    72nd Class Reunion]
[02:29] ---
    Please register here!
[02:32] ---
    I heard that Yuzuki's here today!
[02:34] ---
    For real?
[02:36] ---
    Does he have a girlfriend?
[02:37] ---
    Doesn't seem like it.
[02:39] ---
    No way!
[02:42] ---
    That means there's still a chance, right?
[02:45] ---
    Oh yeah, I remember he dated Ida in high school,
    you know, that cute girl?
[02:50] ---
    Why'd they break up?
[02:51] ---
    Who knows.
[02:53] ---
    Who care's why?!
    What really matters is that they're not dating now.
[02:57] ---
    Wow, you've really
    got your sights on him, huh?
[03:00] ---
    Seems like it.
    Maybe I'll go after him, too~!
[03:03] ---
    Don’t you have a boyfriend?
[03:07] ---
    Hayato!
[03:09] ---
    Miyan!
[03:11] ---
    I finally found you.
    I thought you wouldn’t come today.
[03:15] ---
    Yuzuki, Miyamoto, long time no see!
[03:18] ---
    Toyama! Morioka!
    It's been ages!
[03:21] ---
    Not since graduation, right?
    So what, like six years?
[03:23] ---
    Did you two go to the same university?
[03:25] ---
    Yeah, we saw each other a lot,
    so it's not so much of a "reunion" between us.
[03:31] ---
    True.
[03:34] ---
    Everyone's changed a lot, haven't they?
[03:36] ---
    It really makes you feel the passage of time.
[03:38] ---
    Speaking of the passage of time,
    do you still remember Sekiguchi?
[03:41] ---
    Yeah, he was pretty quiet, right?
[03:44] ---
    I remember he sat in the
    corner of the classroom
[03:46] ---
    always reading some book
    with a title I couldn't understand.
[03:50] ---
    I heard he's now a company president!
[03:53] ---
    Apparently he started a business
    in college and then hit it big.
[03:56] ---
    A company president?
[03:58] ---
    That's amazing...
[03:59] ---
    There really are people
    like that out there...
[04:01] ---
    Look, he's right over there.
[04:03] ---
    He came over to say hi really cool-like,
    so I didn't recognize him at first.
[04:07] ---
    Sekiguchi's one smart guy, huh?
[04:11] ---
    Hey... aren't the girls flocking
    around him a bit too much?
[04:14] ---
    I definitely remember those same girls
    calling him gross in high school.
[04:18] ---
    The audacity...
[04:20] ---
    You know, you see that kind of
    "reverse hierarchy" phenomenon happen a lot.
[04:26] ---
    Like even for a hot guy
    who used to be popular
[04:28] ---
    the moment he says he's "between jobs"
    or something,people run away.
[04:33] ---
    Dude that's scary.
    That's just plain scary.
[04:36] ---
    Before the absolute might of money...
    we are powerless!
[04:40] ---
    Adulting... Adulting is hard...
[04:43] ---
    Hey but you're doing alright though, right?
    After all, you're a teacher.
[04:46] ---
    You think so?
[04:47] ---
    Woah, Yuzuki's a teacher?
[04:51] ---
    Long time no see. How are you doing?
[04:54] ---
    Hey there, I'm doing well.
[04:56] ---
    Are you really a teacher? That's awesome~!
[04:58] ---
    Your students are so lucky!
[04:59] ---
    What? I wouldn't say that.
[05:02] ---
    Who are they?
    Were they in the same class as us?
[05:04] ---
    No, they weren't.
[05:06] ---
    Though I did have a class with one of them
    when we were first years.
[05:09] ---
    Ah, gotcha. So then they must be...
[05:11] ---
    Hayato's secret fanclub.
[05:13] ---
    They don't seem to be very "secret" anymore.
[05:15] ---
    The passage of time
    sure does make people braver, huh?
[05:22] ---
    What's everyone doing now?
[05:23] ---
    I'm just an ordinary white-collar worker.
[05:26] ---
    Me too. Sales quotas are just torture!
[05:30] ---
    I feel that. I work admin, but all of
    my senpai are so scary.
[05:35] ---
    I really don’t like going to
    my company's drinking parties.
[05:39] ---
    I see...
[05:41] ---
    So~
[05:42] ---
    maybe we'll bump into someone wonderful...
[05:44] ---
    and quit our jobs as soon as possible!
[05:47] ---
    A girl can dream~!
[05:50] ---
    You see?
[05:52] ---
    The web of the
    "reverse hierarchy" phenomenon is everywhere.
[05:58] ---
    Well, work is tough,
    but it sure is nice to be able to get bonuses.
[06:02] ---
    Yeah? What do you do with yours?
    Do you save it?
[06:05] ---
    Nah, I'm gonna use it to
    go abroad with my girlfriend.
[06:09] ---
    You've got a girlfriend? For real?
[06:11] ---
    Actually, we're thinking
    about getting married.
[06:14] ---
    Oh wow!
[06:16] ---
    Getting married?
[06:17] ---
    Damn, well, I'm not going for fun
[06:21] ---
    but I'm going abroad on a work trip to Shanghai,
    and maybe try to do some sightseeing.
[06:25] ---
    That's so cool!
[06:26] ---
    A business trip to Shanghai?
[06:33] ---
    Somehow...just hearing them talk,
    it feels like everyone's really grown up.
[06:40] ---
    They're all so different
    from when we were in high school.
[06:45] ---
    What about you, Yuzuki?
[06:47] ---
    You probably make good
    money as a teacher, right?
[06:49] ---
    Sounds nice!
[06:51] ---
    Ah...well, yeah,
    but I can't spend it all in one place.
[06:55] ---
    Why? Oh, do you live alone?
[06:58] ---
    No, that's not it...
[07:00] ---
    Oh right, I heard that teachers
    work themselves to the bone, don't they?
[07:03] ---
    Not really. I mean,
    school can get pretty busy...
[07:07] ---
    but if anything, it's the housework
    that's the biggest drain.
[07:10] ---
    Especially when you've got
    three growing boys around.
[07:13] ---
    Woah, you got kids?!
[07:15] ---
    Yuzuki, you got married?!
[07:18] ---
    Well...
[07:20] ---
    My parents passed away suddenly
    when I was in college
[07:23] ---
    so I've been taking care
    of my younger brothers.
[07:28] ---
    Oh dear...so that's how it is.
[07:31] ---
    Yeah.
[07:35] ---
    It must be tough, huh?
[07:39] ---
    Nah...
[07:42] ---
    It's HELLA tough.
[07:46] ---
    They're three boys, so you can
    already guess they eat a lot.
[07:50] ---
    A 10 kilogram bag of rice
    gets cleaned out in the blink of an eye.
[07:53] ---
    Even with a teacher's salary,
    money just flies away.
[07:56] ---
    But growing children need
    a balanced diet, right?
[08:00] ---
    So I'm always checking
    for supermarket discounts.
[08:03] ---
    Thinking about what to make for food everyday
    is a lot harder than making lesson plans.
[08:07] ---
    And...the third oldest one is
    a bit of a wild child and always gets himself dirty.
[08:11] ---
    Sometimes the washing machine
    can’t possibly finish everything it in one go.
[08:14] ---
    I was thinking about buying
    a larger one with a dryer with my next bonus.
[08:18] ---
    And although they're not twins
[08:20] ---
    the second and third oldest
    are in the same grade.
[08:22] ---
    I was really scared their
    high school exams would come all at once
[08:24] ---
    so I sent them to a combined
    middle and high school.
[08:26] ---
    Private school tuition's not cheap, but I can
    afford it with my parents’ inheritance.
[08:30] ---
    And there's a cafeteria at the school,
    so I don't have to worry if I forget to make lunch.
[08:34] ---
    I teach at their high school, so it's convenient
    for me to keep track of how they're doing.
[08:38] ---
    If something happens and they need me,
    I can just rush over.
[08:41] ---
    The third oldest is always
    getting into trouble
[08:44] ---
    so it's really helpful for
    me to be in the same place!
[08:46] ---
    Ah, but the second oldest is really smart!
[08:49] ---
    If he wanted to go to a
    higher level high school
[08:51] ---
    I'd encourage him to take exams
    for any school he wants!
[08:54] ---
    Oh how nice...
[08:56] ---
    I want them to get the best education
    in the best environment possible.
[09:00] ---
    The youngest one is still in the first grade,
    but he's wise beyond his years.
[09:03] ---
    Sometimes it makes me wonder
    if he's even older than me!
[09:07] ---
    But, he's just a little kid.
    That kinda radical difference is so cute and--
[09:14] ---
    Erm...
[09:18] ---
    S-sounds rough, man.
    I'm, uh, gonna go get some food.
[09:22] ---
    A-ah, uhm, we gotta go
    see some of our old classmates.
[09:25] ---
    See you later, Yuzuki!
[09:28] ---
    Huh...?
[09:29] ---
    Hayato...dude.
[09:37] ---
    Weren't you going for Yuzuki?
[09:42] ---
    Hmm... how should I put it...
[09:47] ---
    I just can't with all that.
[09:50] ---
    Huh? They're talking about me?
[09:53] ---
    Like, he used to be one of
    the hottest guys in school!
[09:56] ---
    But now he's turned into an old man, huh?
[09:59] ---
    Whatcha mean old man? That guy's more like...
    an auntie, right?
[10:03] ---
    Auntie, right?
    Auntie, right?
[10:09] ---
    They think I'm like an auntie?!
[10:11] ---
    Oh my god, right?!
[10:13] ---
    Aunties at offices are just like that!
[10:15] ---
    They just go on and on about their kids!
[10:17] ---
    We've got people like
    them at our office, too!
[10:19] ---
    That topic is so boring
    and they just talk for hours on end!
[10:22] ---
    And you know what I think...
[10:25] ---
    Yuzuki doesn't have
    an ounce of manliness to his name.
[10:27] ---
    He's an auntie through and through!
[10:29] ---
    Zero manliness!
[10:41] ---
    Those of you from Class 3 going to the after party,
    please gather around over here.
[10:46] ---
    Hey, Hayato!
[10:48] ---
    Our class is going to an after party.
[10:50] ---
    Are you going?
[10:52] ---
    Sorry, I'm gonna head home.
[10:56] ---
    You...have fun at the after party.
[11:03] ---
    I thought I could have fun
    and return to my old high school days...
[11:08] ---
    but instead I just feel very old.
[11:12] ---
    And I guess I'm not just
    an old man, though...
[11:16] ---
    I'm an auntie.
[11:19] ---
    What the heck? So gross...
[11:21] ---
    Hey! Young man over there, hold it!
[11:29] ---
    Miss Saki...
[11:33] ---
    Hey there, drunkard.
[11:35] ---
    I'm going to arrest you
    if you don't stop wandering on the street.
[11:38] ---
    Please don't scare me like that...
[11:40] ---
    Woah woah woah, what's the matter?
[11:43] ---
    You got a face like the world's gonna end!
[11:45] ---
    Yeah... that's because
    I'm already done for...
[11:51] ---
    Alright, why don't we go have a drink?
[11:53] ---
    I was already finishing up
    for the day and heading back
[11:56] ---
    to the police station,
    so let auntie treat you!
[11:58] ---
    Auntie...
[11:59] ---
    
[12:12] ---
    You brought up raising kids at a class reunion,
    and they started calling you an "auntie"?
[12:16] ---
    Yeah...
[12:18] ---
    Everyone was just all a flutter about their jobs
    or bonuses or going overseas or whatever...
[12:23] ---
    Then one word from me and it all went quiet.
[12:27] ---
    I'm not even a man to them!
[12:30] ---
    I'm only 23 years old!
[12:34] ---
    Yeah, to be told you're
    an auntie is kinda....
[12:36] ---
    I mean, "uncle" probably would've
    made more sense at least.
[12:41] ---
    But I can understand.
[12:43] ---
    I've messed up like that before
    when I try to make small talk with my juniors.
[12:46] ---
    Talking about your kids just isn't interesting
    to young singletons, huh.
[12:50] ---
    What should I do? I feel like I only
    really talk about my brothers to Miyan.
[12:55] ---
    Is this "Miyan" your friend?
[12:57] ---
    Yeah.
[12:58] ---
    And so...I guess to all
    the other teachers at work...
[13:02] ---
    I've just been boring them
    to death everyday, too, huh.
[13:05] ---
    But they're just lending you an ear, right?
[13:07] ---
    You shouldn't worry.
[13:10] ---
    Those people want to listen to you
    because they care about you.
[13:15] ---
    You think so?
[13:16] ---
    I do! So cherish them where you can.
[13:19] ---
    Though, I do kinda get why
    those people called you an auntie.
[13:23] ---
    In a good way, I mean!
[13:25] ---
    Because you're better at being a mom
    than all the moms I know out there!
[13:29] ---
    At your age, raising children probably
    isn't even on your mind, right?
[13:33] ---
    But suddenly you're out here raising
    three boys all on your own, all while being a teacher!
[13:38] ---
    Boys get sick and injured more often
    than girls. It's a lot of work, isn't it?
[13:43] ---
    I mean, generally speaking, at least.
    In our family, it's the exact opposite.
[13:50] ---
    You also put so much effort
    into cooking every day.
[13:53] ---
    Uta sometimes begs me to make
    the same stuff Minato gets in his bento for lunch.
[13:57] ---
    It's disturbing my routine!
[13:59] ---
    Please don't point at
    people with chopsticks...
[14:03] ---
    I guess your mother
    used to do this all the time, huh?
[14:08] ---
    Did you get that from her?
[14:16] ---
    Thanks.
[14:20] ---
    When I was a kid,
    my mother was basically never at home.
[14:25] ---
    My father was a relatively unknown novelist
[14:27] ---
    so our family relied on what
    my mother earned working part time.
[14:31] ---
    My dad worked from home all the time,
    so I was never alone.
[14:37] ---
    Everyday I would eat the food
    that my mother quickly made before work
[14:41] ---
    or I'd eat some simple meals my father made.
[14:45] ---
    Right before I entered junior high,
    my father's books started selling better,
[14:49] ---
    so we moved into our current house.
[14:51] ---
    Then Mikoto and Minato were born.
[14:55] ---
    More elaborate meals started
    coming to the dining table everyday.
[14:59] ---
    It was stuff that a kid like me
    thought was just amazing.
[15:04] ---
    One day I said to Mikoto and Minato,
    "isn't it great you guys get to eat so well everyday?"
[15:13] ---
    Then, after clearing the table,
    my mother said to me...
[15:17] ---
    "I wanted to be able to give you this
    when you were little, too."
[15:20] ---
    "I'm sorry."
[15:24] ---
    I stayed up all night that night,
    regretting what I had said.
[15:27] ---
    I didn't mean to blame my mother.
[15:30] ---
    It was just something I said unconsciously
[15:33] ---
    and it ended up hurting her.
[15:36] ---
    At the same time,
    I understood from my mother's reaction
[15:40] ---
    that she had been feeling
    that way for a long time.
[15:45] ---
    So when my parents died,
    I made up my mind...
[15:49] ---
    I was going to try my best to do
    what my mother wanted to do for us.
[16:01] ---
    Sorry for bringing up some gloomy stuff.
[16:07] ---
    What a good son...!
[16:10] ---
    Stop it! I'm going to lose all of my
    precious water through these tears!
[16:14] ---
    I'll end up drying out more
    than I already have at this age!
[16:18] ---
    S-sorry.
[16:24] ---
    I really hope Waka will be
    as considerate as you when he grows up.
[16:31] ---
    I'm not really all that great...
[16:38] ---
    When I'm taking care of my brothers,
    everything is centered around them.
[16:44] ---
    Sometimes it's like...
    I don't even exist.
[16:48] ---
    Actually, what's gotten me down
    the most today... is that...
[16:54] ---
    all of my old classmates
    are growing up and enjoying their lives.
[16:59] ---
    And here I am...
[17:01] ---
    wondering if I didn't have to
    take care of my brothers...
[17:04] ---
    how I'd also be out there
    enjoying my life like everyone else.
[17:10] ---
    That's the thing I hate
    the most about myself.
[17:13] ---
    I had made the choice
    to take care of my brothers
[17:17] ---
    but then I have the gall to I think
    about a world where I didn't have to.
[17:21] ---
    Hey now!
[17:23] ---
    Even a mother like me thinks about that
    kind of thing every day!
[17:29] ---
    Is...is that so?
[17:31] ---
    It sure is!
[17:32] ---
    [But I hate it!]
    [Chicken liver]
[17:33] ---
    I work hard so hard to raise them...
[17:35] ---
    But times when I find leftovers
    from the bento I made early in the morning,
[17:39] ---
    or I'm at the supermarket
    and they decide to throw a fit
[17:39] ---
    [No, no, no, buy it for me~~]
[17:41] ---
    until they make me buy something for them.
    Yeah, I definitely think it then!
[17:41] ---
    [I'm leaving you!!]
[17:45] ---
    It really gives me a headache!
[17:46] ---
    [I can't take it anymore!]
[17:46] ---
    So how could not think about that?
[17:49] ---
    I went through all that effort to give birth to them,
    and I still think that way sometimes.
[17:53] ---
    It’s not surprising that you'd think that way.
    You're their brother, too, after all.
[17:58] ---
    So don't worry about it! It's normal.
[18:03] ---
    Really...
[18:06] ---
    Really really!
[18:12] ---
    Anyway, Hayato, you must have noticed...
[18:18] ---
    Thank you for treating me to drinks.
[18:20] ---
    Sure thing! You have a good night.
[18:25] ---
    Oh uhm!
[18:27] ---
    It was really good to get advice
    from someone more experienced like you.
[18:32] ---
    So thank you for that.
[18:34] ---
    It was a lot of fun!
    Let's have another "mom" party sometime.
[18:43] ---
    They're probably all in bed by now.
[18:54] ---
    Happy birthday!
[18:58] ---
    I'm home...eh?
    It's my birthday today?
[19:04] ---
    Yess! We did it!
[19:07] ---
    You really did forget it, huh.
[19:11] ---
    Oh right, now I remember.
[19:13] ---
    Ah, Hayato, close your eyes.
[19:17] ---
    Come on, come on!
[19:18] ---
    Hurry, hurry!
[19:24] ---
    You can open them now!
[19:25] ---
    
[19:35] ---
    What's all this...?
[19:37] ---
    We made it. Well, we bought the
    sponge cake from the supermarket.
[19:41] ---
    I wrote the words with a chocolate pen!
[19:43] ---
    I made the whipped cream!
[19:46] ---
    Ready...
[19:47] ---
    Happy 24th birthday, Hayato!
[19:51] ---
    Thank you for always taking care of us!
[19:56] ---
    You...you guys...
[19:59] ---
    Hayato, blow out the candles, hurry!
    The wax is dripping!
[20:03] ---
    Ah! O-Okay!
[20:07] ---
    Happy birthday!
[20:13] ---
    Open your present, too.
[20:17] ---
    It's an apron!
[20:19] ---
    The one you usually use
    has a hole in it, right?
[20:21] ---
    We sewed on something
    that fits you perfectly.
[20:27] ---
    Why didn't you have it say "big brother"...
[20:30] ---
    It was too many letters.
[20:32] ---
    We got you more than just an apron.
[20:35] ---
    You guys got me massage coupons, too?!
[20:38] ---
    And they're handwritten!
[20:39] ---
    We thought you'd need them
    since you're getting so old!
[20:42] ---
    But when did you do all this?
[20:46] ---
    We got the presents a while ago.
[20:47] ---
    The decorations and cake
    we rushed to do after you went out.
[20:50] ---
    You kept going on about dinner
    and wouldn't leave, so it made us anxious!
[20:55] ---
    Thankfully you came back
    before the day was over.
[20:59] ---
    We were holding our breaths
    waiting for you to get home!
[21:02] ---
    And listening patiently for any sounds
    coming from the front door.
[21:05] ---
    We're prepared for
    a scolding for being up so late...
[21:09] ---
    but we hope you'll forgive us for now.
[21:13] ---
    I...I'll never forgive you!
[21:16] ---
    I'll never forgive you...
    for making me feel so touched! Thank you!
[21:19] ---
    Lemme go! You stink!
[21:24] ---
    Anyway, Hayato, you must have noticed...
[21:28] ---
    That along with experiencing
    some of those unpleasant feelings...
[21:31] ---
    you've had just as many
    lovely moments, right?
[21:37] ---
    You're right, Ms. Saki.
[21:40] ---
    Those moments that just sweep away
    all the hardships and anxieties
[21:44] ---
    and turn thing everything bright.
[21:47] ---
    They really do exist.
[21:52] ---
    Some time later
[21:58] ---
    Hey!
[22:00] ---
    Remember to use those. They expire, you know!
[22:04] ---
